Posted by Ann | March 21, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Estate Planning

A good attorney can save you grief and money

This is my third experience of working with Mike Schappert. He handled both of my parents' trusts and also that of my brother. During the time my brother's illness and death I had many questions that could only be answered by an attorney. Although legal fees may seem high receiving good counsel is... with everything when the situation is confusing. Both my husband and I had complete trust in Mike's abilities. Responses were timely and very helpful. I recommend him highly!

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
